[QUOTE="Reloading Rod, post: 3330618, member: 34658"] New brass may be sized but sometimes get dings, bent, etc. in shipping. Sounds like your guns have a larger chamber, also if if brass was shot through your gun it was formed to your chamber, so it will fit. Dies will reform brass to fit in any chamber, so it does not surprise me there is a little resistance to resize, they are just making sure that the case will fit in even tight chambers. Several people only neck size their rifle cartridges to extend life and get better accuracy, what that does is the cartridge is already formed to the chamber and just the neck needs to be resized to seat the bullet, that way the case doesn't expand to fit the chamber which can cause accuracy problems.
